Two Loops Theory of Systems Change

The Two Loops Theory of organizational change is a model of change that tries to describe nonlinear emergent processes of change within complex organizations. It is a model inspired by looking at the growth and decline cycle of living systems. Margaret Wheatley & Deborah Frieze from The Berkana Institute first pointed to this model in their paper entitled “Using Emergence to Take Social Innovation to Scale.” Frieze and Wheatley demonstrated a key dynamic at the heart of every organization transformation, how "as one system culminates and starts to collapse, isolated alternatives slowly begin to arise and give way to the new."

The Venus Project by Jacques Fresco

The Venus Project is a model of a peaceful, sustainable civilization of the future in which technology and science are used to reconstruct our social system to create a high standard of living for everyone. The key points of the program of the project are resource-based economy, general automation, and the introduction of high technologies into all spheres to improve each person's life and the scientific approach to solving each particular problem.

Love Money, Money Loves You is a channeled book from the consciousness of money itself. I've listened to this book on Audible and it feels like listening to the messages from money itself.

Functional Patterns and Naudi Aguilar

Functional Patterns (FP) is codifying human movement through the lens of biomechanics and how human beings have evolved to move. By training in a way that respects our human biological blueprint, Functional Patterns helps people move more athletically, live pain free, and train regeneratively. I moved to Austin, Texas in the fall of 2020 to get certified as a Human Foundations Practitioner with Functional Patterns and spent 6 months training and teaching class at the FP Texas gym before I injured my leg surfing in May of 2021. I wholeheartedly support Functionalists Patterns as the leading edge of the fitness and human movement industry and encourage everyone to check out the FP YouTube Channel and 10 week online course to learn more.

The Iceman - Wim Hof

Wim Hof believes humans have an inner power, which is the ability to adapt to extreme temperatures and survive within our natural environment. Over time, our lifestyles have disconnected us from our age-old survival mechanisms. As a result, we’ve lost touch with our inner power. After decades of self-exploration and groundbreaking research, Wim has created a simple but effective way to stimulate these deep physiological processes, reconnect us with ourselves, others, and nature, and realize our full potential.
